Far too early to tell if this will be any good, but my initial impression is that I like McGilligan’s approach so far. Interrogating the “official” Hitchcock narrative as well as other accounts, acknowledging contradictions without trying to paint a definitive picture of the unknowns; this is how a biographer should treat their sources.

Really appreciating the discussion of Foreign Correspondent and its criticism of American neutrality during the start of WWII. Also appreciating just how many masterpieces Hitchcock released in such a short span of time. It must have been so exciting to follow his career as it happened.

Devastating moment here where Hitch is identified in the American press as being a really fat son of a bitch.
